Quick and dirty linux GUI programming

"As I was reading about this tool I discovered the podbrowser
which is a nice tool which does everything the podviewer does plus
all the things I needed on top of that. I think it's based on the
podviewer code as it looks a lot like it. This is also a great
learning tool as it is open source and it also provides me with a
gui program to browse the available perl documentation for modules
installed on my system.

"Reading up

"While analyzing the source code of these two tools I came to
the conclusion it would make it easier to understand if I would
read a little more about GTK2 as it was not completely clear to me
how the interface is build up. It is easy to understand, very
readable code but I think trying to build something trivial myself
first could build my understanding more than trying to change more
complex code."
